Taking Pictures for Etsy

This spring I opened up an Etsy account. For those of you who do not know, Etsy can be describe as an online craft fair or farmers market. Etsy is an interest to me because I enjoy crafting and creating but it can get expensive sometimes, thus Etsy provides me the opportunity to fund my hobby.

This disadvantage of selling online is that your product sometimes is only as good as your photo. I've seen some tricks and tips online on how to take a quality picture of products, here is what I do!

First, natural light is very important.

Next, I use a bi-fold foam board from Michaels craft store that I purchased for $5.99 ($3.59 with a Michaels 40% coupon).

Here are the product pictures!
